We’re delighted to announce that the 2025 Intranet and Digital Workplace Awards are now open for entries! We’ll be accepting submissions right up to the closing date of Friday 18 April 2025.
The Intranet and Digital Workplace Awards are global awards that celebrate amazing intranet and digital workplaces and the talented teams behind them. Our aim is to find remarkable solutions which deliver major benefits through great ideas and execution. We then share these inspiring examples with the wider community.
Now in their 19th year, we have handed out over 190 trophies and medals awarded over this time, to winners from 23 countries. Winners range from small non-profits and government agencies, to global firms and household names.
These Awards give teams the global recognition they deserve — as well as a lovely glass trophy to sit beside their desk.

Our award with the Silver Medal at the Intranet & Digital Workplace Awards has had several effects. We feel that we have reached a new step in the development of our KM work, we are more motivated and we are receiving more support than ever. And the most important thing is which had a positive effect on the entire LAPOC Team.
- Ricardo Alfenas, Coordinator of the LAPOC/CNEN KM Working Group, LAPOC
Why we’re different
Step Two’s Awards are different from some other intranet and digital workplace competitions because:
- the 19 year history of our Awards gives winners huge kudos and recognition around the globe
- we celebrate individual features and initiatives, not just whole sites and platforms
- we are totally free to enter with no hidden costs such as trophies or charging for attending an Awards ceremony
- we are vendor-neutral with a rigorous and transparent judging process involving an international panel of intranet and digital workplace experts and practitioners
Who should enter?
We welcome submissions from the organisations that own the intranets or digital workplaces, or the agencies and vendors who developed the solutions (as long as we have confirmation from the client in question).
Remember, your entry doesn’t have to be about the whole intranet or digital workplace.
We accept entries which relate to intranets, enterprise social networks, collaboration platforms, mobile apps, learning environments, HR platforms, chatbots, standalone applications and other relevant channels, as well as related strategic, content and governance-related efforts.
Need help entering?
Our how to enter page has the full details about entering including a link to the submission form. It also includes examples of previous winners. In addition we have a frequently asked questions page and also a sample model entry which gives you insights into what we’re looking for.
If you need advice on whether your intranet or digital workplace is suitable for entry or need advice on your submission you can also get in touch with us directly.
We look forward to receiving your entries!
